No, though prior to the Muslim conquest it came to be the dominant religion in Asia Minor, Syria, Egypt, Tunisia, Algeria."

Because of the Roman Empire. Not everyone was happy with the situation, in fact Mohammad used it to expand Islam. So Islam grew as a reaction to Christianity as well as other factors. Much of the ME was still worshiping spirits in springs and animals at the time of Mohammad.

If it wasn't for a couple of serious mistakes on the part of Islam, most of us on this thread might be Muslim, not Christian. After all, at its peak, the Islamic empire stretched to southern Spain, up to Hungary and well into Russia.
